As will the roads and power infrastructure. We had torren tial rains
a couple days ago that were caused by the system that had been helene.
There were "Flash Flood" alerts - but no flooding except a couple of
atreets due to inadequate storm sewers. Even all the railroad viaducts
drained properly and didn`t fill with water - for a change.

Never had clotted cream in my 82 years. Jam - that`s a whole `nother
sory. Bv)= I do note, though, that most of the pixtures of scones I`ve
seen are of a triangular pastry. The "Potato Pete`s" look ore like my
Dad`s biscuits.
Here`s a biscuit mix/recipe I`ve done several times. I`m not as good
as Dad was - but they`re not hockey pucks and are quite edible, if I
do say it myself.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Whole Wheat Biscuit Mix - BHG
Categories: Breads
Yield: 48 Servings
6 c A-P flour *
4 c Whole wheat flour *
1/3 c Baking powder
1/4 c Sugar
2 ts Salt
2 c Lard or Crisco shortening
* It is permissible to play with proportions of white to
whole-wheat up to just 10% white flour. Any less than 10%
white flour does not seem to do well for some reason.
~ UDD
In an extra-large bowl stir together flours, baking
powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in shortening till mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container.
To use, bring mix to room temperature if frozen. Spoon mix
lightly into a measuring cup; level off with a spatula.
Continue as directed in variations.
Makes about 12 cups.
For a four biscuit batch of Basic Biscuits:
Stir together 1 cup Biscuit Mix and 1/4 cup milk just till
dough clings together. On a floured surface, knead dough
gently 10 to 12 strokes. * Roll to 1/2" thickness. Cut
with a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking
sheet. Bake in a 450┬║F/230┬║C oven 8 to 10 minutes or till
biscuits are golden.
Makes 4 biscuits.
* Do not over-knead or you will get tough biscuits - AKA
"sinkers". My Dad was a master at making biscuits and it
really torqued my Mom`s jaws that she couldn`t do as
well. Bv)=
